I find I get really close to having calf cramps in one leg at the beginning of a run, and I have to adjust my gait a little bit to prevent it from going proceeding into a full-on cramp. After a while everything is fine. I guess I should stretch more, too. That is one thing I have been really bad at doing before runs.
This heat though sucks, I barely see anybody out and I have taken some time off because I seem to have no endurance in 28+ weather. I eat, drink a lot of water before heading out, and I still hit a wall.
